where B is the area of one of the parallel bases and h is the perpendicular distance between them. Here, the base is a triangle, so its area will be ...

B = 1/2·bh

where the b and h in this formula are the base and height of the triangle, 28 cm and 22.4 cm.

Then the volume is ...

V = (1/2·(28 cm)(22.4 cm))·(18.1 cm) = 5676.16 cm^3

_____

You will note that this is half the product of the three dimensions, so is half the volume of a cuboid with those dimensions. Perhaps you can see that if you took another such prism and placed the faces having the largest area against each other, you would have a cuboid of the dimensions shown.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

There may be 1 or 3 tricycles in the parking lot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since at any point in time, there could be bicycles, tricycles, and cars in the school parking lot, and today, there are 53 wheels in total, if there are 15 bicycles, tricycles, and cars in total, to determine how many tricycles could be in the parking lot, the following calculation must be performed:

13 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 1 x 2 = 57

11 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 3 x 2 = 53

10 x 4 + 3 x 3 + 2 x 2 = 53

8 x 4 + 5 x 3 + 2 x 2 = 51

10 x 2 + 1 x 3 + 4 x 4 = 39

9 x 3 + 1 x 2 + 5 x 4 = 49

Therefore, there may be 1 or 3 tricycles in the parking lot.
